The Minority in Parliament is asking government to clarify how its tax cuts announced last two weeks would benefit Ghanaians.

Deputy Minority leader, James Klutse Avedzi, said government has to state the mechanisms it is putting in place to ensure that importers do not increase prices of their products despite abolishment of duties.

Speaking on the floor of Parliament Wednesday during the final debate of the 2017 budget, the Deputy Minority leader said the tax cuts will endanger the country’s economy if it is not handled properly.

Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta has announced the abolishment of duty on importation of spare parts and seven others when he delivered the 2017 budget on March 2.

He explained that government found the taxes, most of which were introduced by the erstwhile National Democratic Congress (NDC), as a nuisance, hence the decision.
